Send all entries to the Bondi Short Film Festival, PO Box 1162, Darlinghurst, NSW 1300. Further details and entry forms can be found at www.bondishortfilmfestival.com.
RADIO
Radio is the beautiful and timely story of Charlie Fairbanks, born in the middle of the 20th century in the geographic centre of America. Charlie is the son of a flag-maker, and his journey and eventual dissolution become an allegory for that of America itself. The play lays bare the devastating effects of war, and uncovers the human cost of patriotism. Radio opened at The Old Fitzroy Theatre this week and tickets start at $10. Bookings on 1300 438 849 or www.rocksurfers.org.
